Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

Do you make your own spaghetti sauce? Or are you a jar person?I am 100% homemade sauce type of girl; I can not stand the stuff from a jar.It’s my mom’s fault. I grew up this homemade spaghetti sauce, no other recipe will do. This is what you need:

Start by browning the hamburger.Drain off the grease.If you desire (we don’t) you can cook up some onions, green pepper and mushrooms at this point.Put the hamburger back in the pot and salt and pepper to taste.

Add the tomato sauce.

Add the remaining ingredients. I usually measure out the white sugar, vinegar, yellow mustard, chili powder and Italian seasoning while the hamburger is browning, it’s easier than reaching for everything separately when it’s time to add them.

Stir to combine and let simmer over low heat for 15 to 20 minutes. If you like a thicker sauce add cornstarch to get it to where you want it.

Serve.

This freezes very well, I usually make at least a double batch and then use half and freeze half for later. Mr. Manly Man freezes serving sizes, pasta and all, and takes it to work.

Oh and dipping some French bread in the sauce as its simmering is highly recommended!

There is nothing like a great Sauce to compliment the pasta and this looks like a great recipe! Thank you so much for sharing with Full Plate Thursday and hope to see you again real soon. Hope you are having a great week!Miz Helen
